Live Chat: Space Junk
Join us for an Air and Space Live Chat about space junk — the thousands of human-made objects cluttering up Earth orbit. We'll be joined by Moriba Jah, an aerospace engineer with a specialty in space object detection, tracking, identification, and characterization. Bring your questions about orbital debris and what we can do about it.
Watch on this page or on Facebook Live on the National Air and Space Museum and STEM in 30 Facebook pages.
This program is part of the Smithsonian's Earth Optimism initiative.
We’ll be hosting an Air and Space Live Chat on Facebook Live every Thursday at 1 pm EDT until the Museum reopens. Each week we’ll feature a different expert to answer questions from kids, students, and air and space enthusiasts.
We rely on the generous support of donors, sponsors, members, and other benefactors to share the history and impact of aviation and spaceflight, educate the public, and inspire future generations. With your help, we can continue to preserve and safeguard the world’s most comprehensive collection of artifacts representing the great achievements of flight and space exploration.
